"Let me take a moment to have a heart-to-heart with anyone who thinks he
cannot live without a particular application. Applications only aid
tasks. Before Windows Notepad there was the physical notepad. Before the
word processor, there was the typewriter, before the typwriter a pencil.
The key for one looking to get out of the neverending cycle of paying
for upgrades to proprietary software is to distinguish between the
application and the tasks the application assists with. When you
approach things from this angle, finding applications to fulfill tasks
in Linux becomes tons easier."

Wow... make KLUG could pay to have this quoted in thiry foot letters of
fire suspended in the sky.

I love this one (I have ~200 users who spend all day in IE, between
reboots that is) - "I haven't had a crash of Mozilla yet, and if I ever
do, I'm sure it won't take my taskbar with it."  BTW (to be fair) I
actually find Windows 2000 to be an almost rock solid desktop, unless
your using IE.
